Getting started

Use the portal on your phone

Open the menu on a small screen, add the portal to your home screen, and turn on notifications.

The portal works well on a phone. You can keep it on your home screen like an app and get notifications.

Find the menu

On a phone, the menu is hidden to save space. Tap the menu button at the top left to open it. Choose a page and the menu closes. On a computer, the menu stays on the left. You can shrink it to icons.

Add the portal to your home screen

Your phone's browser can add the portal to your home screen, so it opens like an app. See Put the portal on your home screen for the steps on Android, iPhone and computers.

Turn on notifications

Notifications tell you when something needs you, even when the portal is closed.

  1. Open Alerts & schedules in the Scheduling menu.
  2. Find Push notifications and select Enable.
  3. Allow notifications when your phone asks.

You see "Push notifications are on for this device." Do this on each phone or computer you use. Select Disable to turn them off again.

If you see "Push notifications aren't set up yet", an administrator needs to set them up first.

Tip: For urgent messages, also add your WhatsApp number. See Alerts on your WhatsApp.
